I I CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE " Route of Exposure: Inhalation: Overexposure to Chrysotile Asbestos nas caused damage to lung$ (asbestosis). lung cancer and mesothr.'lioma of the pleura and peritoneum. Symptoms. which are usually not manifested until 15-20 years ~fter exposure. include labored breathing. chest pains. weakness. a~d chest : tightness. Pleural thickening. plaques and effusion are nondisabling , conditions. seen separately or Logether. that have been associa~ed with prolonged asbestos exposure. The risk of lung cancer is greatly increased' for those who smoke cigarettes regularly in addition to having asbestos exposures. , I - Skin Contact: Not applicable. I I Skin Absorption: Not applicable. I I. Eye Contact: Same as acute effects. Usually reversible on removal from exp,osure. Ingestion: Some studies indicate that asbestos overexposure is implicated' as a cause of gastro-intestinal and laryngeal cancers. but the evidence is conflicting. - .. - - EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES I I I Route of Exposure: : Inhalation: No acute toxicity: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult. ~ oxygen may be administered. If breathing has stopped. administer artificial respiration. Call a physician. : Skin Contac t: Remove asbestos slivers promptly. If "asbestos corn" develops. surgica 1 removal may be required. I , Eye Contact: Irrigate gently with water for 15 minutes. Refer to ophthalmologist to rule out possibility of damage to cornea or eyeball by fibers. , Ingestion: None indicated.

Flash Point (Test Method): Not applicable. Autoi~nition Temperature: Not apolicable. Explosion Tendency: Not aDolicable. Extinguishing Medi~: Use media appropriate for surrounding materia"! in fire situation. Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Avoid media and procedures that cause airborne. dust. Personnel involved in fire-fighting should use NIOSH/MSHA-approved self-contained breathin~ apparatus and full protective clothing. Unusual Fire and Explosive Hazard: See above. SECTION VI REACTIVITY DATA Stability: Stable (Temperatures in excess of 1112 OF (600 °C) cause loss of bound water). Conditions to Avoid: None. Hazardous Decomposition Products: None. Material to Avoid: None. .. SECTION VII SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION -- Steps to be Taken if Material is Spilled or Released: Avoid breathing dust. Notify Safety personnel of spill. Permit only trained clean-up personnel in the spill area. Use wet methods or approved vacuum cleaning system to pick up spilled materials. Use water or other dust suppressants where sweeping is unavoidable. Do not stir up dust. Clean-up personnel should wear approved respirators and protective clothing. Waste and contaminated protective clothing must be placed in dust-tight containers and be properly labeled for disposal. Neutralizing Agents: Not applicable. Waste Disposal Method: Bags, friable asbestos, waste and scrap material should be disposed of in a manner which will avoid airborne concentrations of asbestos, such as the use of dust-tight trash bags or containers. Such containers should be labeled in accordance with 40 CFR 61.20. Asbestos is also classified as a hazardous material under CWA 307(a) and has a reportable quantity of one pound. Deposit waste containers in a secured landfill in accordance with Federal, State. and ., .... local regulations. - . SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORM.... TION Ventilation: Provide adequate exhaust ventilation and capture filtration to remove asbestos particulate from the workplace and minimize its dispersion into the environment. Isolate ~ork areas and post signs where asbestos contamination may exceel PEL. Hand- or power-operated tools which may release asbestos in excess of the PEL must be equipped with local exhaust systems. r- - 1/1 /II "/~~mfJliitiiii KENTILE 09195 Ca 1idria"" A$bestos (4 ) SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION ;INFORMATION (Continued) ....
